Because it's not particularly targeted to benefit certain companies.

It benefits companies who broke the rules more.

What if the article was titled __FTC Removes Posts Critical of Kroger, Albertsons__? That is an alternative that is as accurate as the current one and sends a very different message. Telling a selective subset of the truth is just a barely clever form of lying.

It's crazy to me that you seem more angry about a headline than the fact that 4 years of public government data was deleted.

To answer your question, your hypothetical title would have me feeling exactly the same as I do now: angry that the data was deleted.

I never commented on the subject of the article because I don't come here to engage in political flamewars. I will continue not to comment on it, but rest assured that you have absolutely no idea what I am angry about. Having engagement driven clickbait on the front page is bad for the entire site.

If your only comment is dissuading people from taking the content of the article seriously (oh, and lying by saying the content is still available!), you are leaving a political comment. But, okay!
